    About this ebook

    Having spent sixty-plus years, on and off, writing short stories, I’m now dangerously closer to the jump-off point (that precipice from which no jumper returns) than to the beginning of my life’s tale. But I’ve published nothing. Zilch. My stories will be cremated with me unless I get them into your hands, so they can be used to light your fires rather than my funeral pyre.
